Health Care Liability Reform

       Provides that in any action or arbitration for damages for injury or death occurring as a result of health care or related services, or the arranging for the provision of health care or related services, whether brought under chapter 7.70 RCW, RCW 4.20.010, 4.20.020, 4.20.046, 4.20.060, 4.24.010, or 48.43.545(1), any other applicable law, or any combination thereof, that is based upon the alleged wrongful acts or omissions of one or more health care professionals, whether or not those health care professionals are named as defendants, the total combined civil liability for noneconomic damages for all health care professionals, all persons, entities, and health care institutions for whose conduct the health care professionals could be held liable, and all persons, entities, and health care institutions that could be held liable for the conduct of any health care professionals, shall not exceed three hundred fifty thousand dollars for each claimant, regardless of the number of health care professionals, health care providers, or health care institutions against whom the claim for injury or death is or could have been asserted or the number of separate causes of action on which the claim is based.

       Provides that an attorney may not contract for or collect a contingency fee for representing a person in connection with an action for damages for injury or death occurring as a result of health care or related services, or the arranging for the provision of health care or related services, in excess of the following limits: (1) Forty percent of the first fifty thousand dollars recovered;

       (2) Thirty-three and one-third percent of the next fifty thousand dollars recovered;

       (3) Twenty-five percent of the next five hundred thousand dollars recovered;

       (4) Fifteen percent of any amount in which the recovery exceeds six hundred thousand dollars.

       Declares that the limitations in this provision apply regardless of whether the recovery is by judgment, settlement, arbitration, mediation, or other form of alternative dispute resolution.

       Provides that, in no event may an action be commenced more than three years after the act or omission alleged to have caused the injury or condition except: (1) Upon proof of fraud, intentional concealment, or the presence of a foreign body not intended to have a therapeutic or diagnostic purpose or effect, in which case the patient or the patient's representative has one year from the date the patient or the patient's representative or custodial parent or guardian has actual knowledge of the act of fraud or concealment or of the presence of the foreign body within which to commence a civil action for damages.

       (2) In the case of a minor, upon proof that the minor's custodial parent or guardian and the defendant or the defendant's insurer have committed fraud or collusion in the failure to bring an action on behalf of the minor, in which case the patient or the patient's representative has one year from the date the patient or the patient's representative other than the custodial parent or guardian who committed the fraud or collusion has actual knowledge of the fraud or collusion, or one year from the date of the minor's eighteenth birthday, whichever provides a longer period.

       (3) In the case of a minor under the full age of six years, in which case the action on behalf of the minor must be commenced within three years, or prior to the minor's eighth birthday, whichever provides a longer period.

        Provides that a contract for health care or related services that contains a provision for arbitration of a dispute as to professional negligence of a health care provider as defined in RCW 7.70.020, whether brought under chapter 7.70 RCW, RCW 4.20.010, 4.20.020, 4.20.046, 4.20.060, or 4.24.010, any other applicable law, or any combination thereof, must have the provision as the first article of the contract and the provision must be expressed in the following language:

        "It is understood that any dispute as to medical malpractice that is as to whether any health care or related services rendered under this contract were unnecessary or unauthorized or were improperly, negligently, or incompetently rendered, will be determined by submission to arbitration as provided by Washington law, and not by a lawsuit or resort to court process except as Washington law provides for judicial review of arbitration proceedings. Both parties to this contract, by entering into it, are giving up their constitutional right to have such a dispute decided in a court of law before a jury, and instead are accepting the use of arbitration."

        Declares that a public or private hospital shall be liable for an act or omission of a health care provider granted privileges to provide health care at the hospital only if the health care provider is an actual agent or employee of the hospital and the act or omission of the health care provider occurred while the health care provider was acting within the course and scope of the health care provider's agency or employment with the hospital.

        Declares that a person who is a health care provider under RCW 7.70.020 (1) or (2) shall not be personally liable for any act or omission of any other health care provider who was not the person's actual agent or employee or who was not acting under the person's direct supervision and control at the time of the act or omission.

Health Care Quality

        Finds that increases in rate filings in insurance have widespread impact in the availability and affordability of medical malpractice liability insurance. In some cases, excessive rate increases result in limiting the availability of affordable insurance in markets, which in turn threatens the viability of the services or products that are to be insured.

        Finds that there are several contributing causes to the current medical liability problem, and addressing these causes requires reducing medical errors while increasing patient safety and information and reducing the cost of our medical liability system.

        Declares that it is in the public interest to maintain an efficient and expeditious regulatory environment in which to conduct the business of insurance. This interest must be balanced by the equally important public interest in promoting a greater range of medical liability insurance options to increase accessibility and affordability of this insurance and increase transparency when excessive rate filings impact the very health care practices and businesses that are to be insured.

       Declares an intent to increase consumer access to information regarding medical malpractice liability and insurance and to reduce costs by increasing patient safety and information.

       Creates a supplemental malpractice insurance program to provide an excess layer of liability coverage for medical malpractice claims.

       Provides that a board of governors will oversee the operations of the program. The management and operations of the program are subject to the supervision and approval of the board.

       Provides that the program must charge an annual premium to health care facilities and providers who decide to buy excess medical malpractice liability coverage from the program. The program must use this money to pay claims, administrative costs, and other expenses of the program.

       Requires the program to file an annual statement with the commissioner by March 1st of each year. The statement must contain information about the program's transactions, financial condition, and operations during the past calendar year. The commissioner may establish rules for the form and content of this statement.

       Provides that, if a health care facility or provider buys insurance to establish proof of financial responsibility, the insuring entity that provides underlying coverage must certify in writing to the program that the facility or provider has medical malpractice coverage with limits of liability as specified in this act. The limits set forth in this act apply to any joint liability of a provider and his or her corporation or partnership.

       Declares that the minimum retained limits of liability are: (1) For health care providers: (a) Two hundred fifty thousand dollars per claim; and (b) annual aggregate limits of seven hundred fifty thousand dollars;

       (2) For facilities with fewer than twenty-five employees that do not provide surgical services: (a) Two hundred fifty thousand dollars per claim; and (b) annual aggregate limits of one million two hundred fifty thousand dollars;

       (3) For hospitals with a capacity of less than one hundred beds: (a) Five hundred thousand dollars per claim; and (b) annual aggregate limits of five million dollars;

       (4) For hospitals with a capacity of one hundred or more beds: (a) Five hundred thousand dollars per claim; and (b) annual aggregate limits of eight million dollars;

       (5) For health maintenance organizations that do not provide hospital services: (a) Five hundred thousand dollars per claim; and (b) annual aggregate limits of five million dollars;

       (6) For health maintenance organizations that provide hospital services: (a) Five hundred thousand dollars per claim; and (b) annual aggregate limits of eight million dollars; and

       (7) For all other types of health care facilities: (a) Five hundred thousand dollars per claim; and (b) annual aggregate limits of three million dollars.

       Provides that, beginning in 2007, the commissioner must prepare an annual report by June 30th that summarizes and analyzes the closed claim reports for medical malpractice filed under section 126 of this act and the annual financial reports filed by insurers writing medical malpractice insurance in this state.

       Declares that the legislature may appropriate for the biennium ending June 30, 2007, any sum of money it deems necessary to the department of health to: (1) Provide capital and surplus to the supplemental malpractice insurance program; and

       (2) Pay administrative expenses incurred to establish the supplemental malpractice insurance program.

Modifying state regulatory provisions for small businesses.

        Finds that: (1) A vibrant and growing small business sector is critical to creating jobs in a dynamic economy;

        (2) Small businesses bear a disproportionate share of regulatory costs and burdens;

        (3) Fundamental changes that are needed in the regulatory and enforcement culture of state agencies to make them more responsive to small business can be made without compromising the statutory missions of the agencies;

        (4) When adopting rules to protect the health, safety, and economic welfare of Washington, state agencies should seek to achieve statutory goals as effectively and efficiently as possible without imposing unnecessary burdens on small employers;

        (5) Uniform regulatory and reporting requirements can impose unnecessary and disproportionately burdensome demands including legal, accounting, and consulting costs upon small businesses with limited resources;

        (6) The failure to recognize differences in the scale and resources of regulated businesses can adversely affect competition in the marketplace, discourage innovation, and restrict improvements in productivity;

        (7) Unnecessary regulations create entry barriers in many industries and discourage potential entrepreneurs from introducing beneficial products and processes;

        (8) The practice of treating all regulated businesses the same leads to inefficient use of regulatory agency resources, enforcement problems, and, in some cases, to actions inconsistent with the legislative intent of health, safety, environmental, and economic welfare legislation;

        (9) Alternative regulatory approaches which do not conflict with the state objective of applicable statutes may be available to minimize the significant economic impact of rules on small businesses; and

        (10) The process by which state rules are developed and adopted should be reformed to require agencies to solicit the ideas and comments of small businesses, to examine the impact of proposed and existing rules on such businesses, and to review the continued need for existing rules.

        Provides that, prior to the adoption of any proposed rule that may have an adverse impact on small businesses, each agency shall prepare a small business economic impact statement.

        Provides that prior to the adoption of any proposed rule on and after July 1, 2005, each agency shall prepare a regulatory flexibility analysis in which the agency shall, where consistent with health, safety, and environmental and economic welfare, consider utilizing regulatory methods that will accomplish the objectives of applicable statutes while minimizing adverse impact on small businesses.

        Provides that, beginning July 1, 2009, each agency shall review all agency rules existing at the time of the enactment to determine whether the rules should continue without change, or should be amended or rescinded, consistent with the stated objectives of this act.

Establishing a pilot project to examine the use of instant runoff voting for nonpartisan offices.

       Finds that it is in the public interest to examine the use of a voting system that requires all victorious candidates to be elected with a majority vote rather than a plurality of effective votes, and that allows voters to designate secondary and other preferences for potential tabulation if their first choice candidate does not receive a majority of the votes cast.

       Recognizes that the system known as instant runoff voting achieves these purposes.

       Declares that it is in the interest of participatory democracy for voters to be given the opportunity to vote for their first choice candidate while still making effective secondary choices among the remaining candidates.

Concerning the management of on-site sewage systems in marine areas.

        Finds that improperly functioning on-site sewage systems in marine areas may contaminate ground water and surface water, threatening public health and the environment.

        Finds that in these areas enhanced on-site sewage system certification programs must be established to ensure systems are properly functioning to protect public and environmental health.

        Requires the department of ecology to designate a marine area of special concern in counties with shorelines adjacent to Puget Sound in areas where concentrations of on-site sewage disposal systems are a significant factor contributing to public health and environmental concerns.

        Requires the local board of health with jurisdiction over the area to submit an enhanced on-site sewage system certification program to the department within eighteen months of designation of a marine area of special concern within the county.

        Requires the local board of health with jurisdiction over the area to conduct quality assurance of the enhanced on-site sewage system certification program including: (1) Inspection of at least ten percent of certificated on-site sewage disposal systems every three years to determine if the systems are properly functioning and in compliance with this chapter and RCW 43.20.050; and

Creating the oil spill monitoring and oversight council.

       Declares that, in section 5002 of the federal oil pollution act of 1990, the United States congress found that complacency on the part of industry and government was one of the contributing factors to the Exxon Valdez spill and, further, that one method to combat this complacency is to involve local citizens in the monitoring and oversight of oil spill plans. Moreover, congress concluded that, in addition to Alaska, a program of citizen monitoring and oversight should be established in other major crude oil terminals in the United States because recent oil spills indicate that the safe transportation of oil is a national problem.

       Establishes in the office of the governor the oil spill monitoring and oversight council. The primary purpose of the council is to maintain the state's vigilance in the prevention of oil spills, while recognizing the importance of also improving preparedness and response.

       Provides that, by December 1st of each year, the council shall make recommendations for the continuing improvement of the state's oil spill prevention, preparedness, and response through a report to the governor and the appropriate committees of the senate and house of representatives.

Clarifying Initiative 297.

        Declares that the cleanup priority act makes the cleanup of contamination the top priority at sites with hazardous or mixed waste contamination that threatens our rivers, ground water, environment, and health.

        Finds that adding more wastes to sites with mixed radioactive and hazardous wastes where there have been releases into the environment detracts from cleanup, and from the work needed to bring wastes into compliance. The cleanup priority act should be interpreted by the courts consistent with the clear intent of the voters, and the findings and clarifications in this act.

        Declares that because court action has prevented the normal role of the department of ecology from issuing defining or interpretive rules, the legislature finds that adoption of the amendments to the cleanup priority act will ensure that the intent of the cleanup priority act is understood and clarified for the courts as well as for businesses or cleanup operations without delay.

Allowing certain state-owned filled tidelands and shorelands to be designated as aquatic investment properties.

       Finds that a high percentage of state-owned tidelands and shorelands were sold into private ownership as part of the state legislature's earliest efforts to foster Washington's economic expansion.

Creating the oil spill monitoring and oversight council.

       Declares that, in section 5002 of the federal oil pollution act of 1990, the United States congress found that complacency on the part of industry and government was one of the contributing factors to the Exxon Valdez spill and, further, that one method to combat this complacency is to involve local citizens in the monitoring and oversight of oil spill plans. Moreover, congress concluded that, in addition to Alaska, a program of citizen monitoring and oversight should be established in other major crude oil terminals in the United States because recent oil spills indicate that the safe transportation of oil is a national problem.

Requiring an education and higher education finance study.

        Finds that: (1) The early years mark the most extraordinary period of growth for young children. The state's role in providing access to early learning opportunities has never been consistently defined;

        (2) More than a quarter of a century has passed since the current school finance system was first created, and the challenges facing our schools and students have grown and changed dramatically during that time. Policies have been established creating new expectations and goals for students under education reform;

        (3) Demographic pressures and work force needs will continue to increase demand for access to postsecondary education and training. Public two-year and four-year institutions of higher education are also important avenues for programs such as adult basic education and English as a second language that are the foundation for employment and further education for an increasing number of people. Students have paid an increasing cost of their education with tuition growing faster than personal income or inflation; and

        (4) Through a comprehensive study, the legislature will have solid information to determine how best to use its resources to create a strong education system that will provide an educated citizenry and a thriving economy in this state.

Clarifying Initiative 297.

       Declares that the cleanup priority act makes the cleanup of contamination the top priority at sites with hazardous or mixed waste contamination that threatens our rivers, ground water, environment, and health.

       Finds that adding more wastes to sites with mixed radioactive and hazardous wastes where there have been releases into the environment detracts from cleanup, and from the work needed to bring wastes into compliance. The cleanup priority act should be interpreted by the courts consistent with the clear intent of the voters, and the findings and clarifications in this act.

       Declares that because court action has prevented the normal role of the department of ecology from issuing defining or interpretive rules, the legislature finds that adoption of the amendments to the cleanup priority act will ensure that the intent of the cleanup priority act is understood and clarified for the courts as well as for businesses or cleanup operations without delay.

        (2) Reviewing complaints and investigations pertaining to the practice of soil science; and

        (3) Performing other duties deemed necessary by the director or the board.

        Declares that the director has the following authority in administering this act: (1) To adopt, amend, and rescind rules approved by the board as deemed necessary to carry out this chapter;

        (2) To adopt fees as provided in RCW 43.24.086;

        (3) To administer licensing examinations approved by the board and to adopt or recognize examinations prepared by other organizations as approved by the board;

        (4) To adopt standards of professional conduct and practice as approved by the board; and

        Provides that, in order to become a licensed soil scientist, an applicant must meet the following requirements: (1) An applicant who applies for soil scientist licensing before July 1, 2006, is considered qualified for licensing, without further written examination, if the applicant possesses the specific record of being a current soil science society of America certified professional soil scientist or certified professional soil classifier in good standing.

        (2) On or after July 1, 2006, in order to become a licensed soil scientist, an applicant must: (a) Be of good moral and ethical character as attested to by letters of reference submitted by the applicant or as otherwise determined by the board; (b) have graduated from a course of study in soil science satisfactory to the board or satisfy educational equivalents determined by the board; (c) have a documented record of a minimum of five years of experience obtained after the completion of the academic requirements specified in this section, in soil science work of a character satisfactory to the board, demonstrating that the applicant is qualified to assume responsible charge of such work upon licensing as a soil scientist.

Providing grants to provide information regarding grizzly bears in the north Cascades.

       Directs the department of fish and wildlife to provide one or more grants for projects that provide community outreach and public information regarding grizzly bears in the north Cascades mountains. The projects funded must be designed to work closely with communities in this region and have the objective of providing accurate information about grizzly bear ecology, biology, and behavior, provide education on how local residents can coexist safely with bears, and provide opportunities for people who live in these areas to express their ideas, opinions, and concerns.

Providing lien authority to the department of ecology to facilitate the recovery of remedial action costs under the model toxics control act.

       Declares that it is in the public interest for the department to recover remedial action costs incurred in discharging its responsibility under this chapter, as these recovered funds can then be applied to the cleanup of other facilities. Thus, in addition to other cost-recovery mechanisms provided under chapter 70.105D RCW, this act is intended to facilitate the recovery of state funds spent on remedial actions by providing the department with lien authority. This will also prevent a facility owner or mortgagee from gaining a financial windfall from increased land value resulting from department-conducted remedial actions at the expense of the state taxpayers.

        Provides that, if the state of Washington incurs remedial action costs relating to a remedial action of real property, and those remedial action costs are unrecovered by the state of Washington, the department may file a lien against that real property.

Promoting economic revitalization.

       Finds: (1) The continued economic vitality of downtown and neighborhood commercial districts in our state's cities is essential to community preservation, social cohesion, and economic growth;

        (2) In recent years there has been a deterioration of downtown and neighborhood commercial districts in both rural and urban communities due to a shifting population base, changes in the marketplace, and greater competition from suburban shopping malls, discount centers, and business transacted through the internet;

        (3) This decline has eroded the ability of businesses and property owners to renovate and enhance their commercial and residential properties; and

        (4) Business owners in these districts need to maintain their local economies in order to provide goods and services to adjacent residents, to provide employment opportunities, to avoid disinvestment and economic dislocations, and to develop and sustain downtown and neighborhood commercial district revitalization programs to address these problems.

        Declares an intent to establish a program to: (1) Work in partnership with these organizations;

        (2) Provide technical assistance and training to local governments, business organizations, downtown and neighborhood commercial district organizations, and business and property owners to accomplish community and economic revitalization and development of business districts; and

        (3) Certify a downtown or neighborhood commercial district organization's use of available tax incentives.
